ACV’s miraculous healing power comes from its compounds such as acetic acid, magnesium, potassium, prebiotics and enzymes. Acetic acid illuminates dangerous bacteria, while at the same time nurtures the growth of beneficial bacteria, it basically acts as a natural antibiotic minus all of the dangers of traditional antibiotics. ACV is loaded polyphenols which are responsible for the prevention of cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis and diabetes.

How did Apple cider vinegar change my health?

After going through a barrage of antibiotics in one calendar year, my health started to deteriorate and the weight started to pile on. I developed an unnerving sugar craving and with time I forgot I even had a sugar craving, I unknowingly accepted it as my craving.

One day I drank a soda and immediately I felt bloated and I mentioned it to a friend and she said I probably had candida overgrowth. I had no idea what candida was so I googled it. After googling it I read many articles with Apple cider vinegar linked to its removal in many of the articles, I knew of Apple cider vinegar but I had no idea of its health implications.

So according to what I had read they recommended I start taking 3 teaspoons a day, but I chose to take 3 tablespoons a day instead. Within minutes of taking my first dosage of ACV, my bloated stomach gained relief. After a few weeks of taking ACV, I noticed some incredible changes in my body.

Health changes I noticed taking Apple cider vinegar

My candida overgrowth subsided in my stomach, but not the intestines.

I no longer needed to wear deodorant, my body was so alkaline bacteria couldn’t exist on my skin. I had no body odor at all.

My skin all over my body became smooth and even toned

My energy increased to incredible levels

Applying it between the thighs where they rub each other, the dark color lightened

My digestion improved drastically.

So where and what kind of Apple cider vinegar should I buy?

Only but organic, unfiltered and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with “mother”. Anything else will not reap the aforementioned benefits. The murky brown appearance of apple cider vinegar, as well as the strands of benevolent bacteria, is known as “Mother”. I advise to only buy Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar with “mother” which can be found at many grocery stores and health stores.
